Lachenal Maccann 55 Key Metal End Duet

[squeezora]

Hi C.net’ers,

 

I have put two concertinas for sale on eBay. One is an old German or French Anglo that is very unusual and is decorated beautifully with hand engraved silver inlays inlayed into rosewood ends and sides. It will go off the auction in about two days. I hope this information might be of interest to someone here on C.net. It is very definitely a collector’s instrument and I think it should be on display in a museum somewhere though it could be restored. I think it is in B”flat and D, but don’t quote me on this. You can see it here……………. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1

 

The other concertina is a 55 button Lachenal Maccann Duet with raised metal ends and ebony fittings, that need’s some fixing up, but is basically in pretty good condition and should be great for someone who wants a high quality duet for a bargain price.

Both of these concertinas were acquired by my father years ago in his quest to learn about the concertina. He knew the best way to learn was to have the actual instruments in his hands to study and play. Now I need to sell these to help my own quest.

 

After this I only have a George Case Amboyna English concertina and a 1854 Wheatstone English that are left to sell. Then I will only have the two instruments that I play left.

 

I am now recording a CD album of all Spanish Dance music and hope to have it done next week. It is very exciting music to play.

 

I am especially happy and grateful to all those who have purchased my CDs and downloads. A few years ago I had not dreamed I would come love to play the concertina as much as I do.
